You have no more right to consume happiness without producing
it than to consume wealth without producing it.


Challenge: Write in your journal today about one of the
happiest days you can remember.


We could all use a reminder to feel gratitude for what we have,
rather than anxiety over what we don't have.
--Joan Lunden


There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of
improving, and that's your own self.
--Aldous Huxley


Life is like a 10-speed bike. We all have gears we never use.
--Charles Schultz


If we fill our hours with regrets over the failures of yesterday, and with worries over the problems of tomorrow, we have no today in which to be thankful.


Yesterday's the past,
tomorrow's the future,
today is a gift.
That's why they call it
the present.
--Unknown


If you want to be happy,
Begin where you are,
Don't wait for some rapture
That's future and far.
Begin to be joyous,
Begin to be glad
And soon you'll forget
That you ever were sad.


 The really happy man is the one who can enjoy the scenery
when he has to take a detour.


Just think how happy you'd be if you lost everything you
have right now--and then got it back again.


Happiness consists in activity---
it is a running stream,
not a stagnant pool


May you live all the days of your life.
